 This is a commissioned portrait of my Theresian classmate and childhood friend Reena's son Vince, wife Billie and baby daughter Charlie done on a 14" x 18" canvas with removable frame, ready for hanging. This is going to be her third painting from me. Chalk mapping with only 2 grid lines. Painting the sky light blue. Adding a tree trunk. Adding some palm leaves and more branches. Improving the branches and leaves. Brunailling the figures. Started painting Vince's face. Added adjustments on the face. Painted in the mother's face. Painted in baby Charlie. Made some adjustments to the clothing. Did the suit and some more. Adjusted Vince's face and Billie's top. Adjusted the baby's face. Final Artwork! Done! Last minute alterations. Softened the baby's face. Tapered Billie's dress.

  A pencil sketch of a bird perched on a branch. Some BG wash of light purple leaving light blurred flowers on top. Some pink flower buds and leaves. Yellow bird painted in. With a few more tweaks, I consider this done! Another one in the can- ary!

  Chalk drawing on canvas using pink kid's chalk. Brunailled and added some dark shadows and a yellow BG. Flesh tones done using varied colors. Hair done. My spontaneous semi-abstract portrait of Kate Winslet is almost finished. Added a few more minor tweaks. Love those blue eyes! Zhuzhed up the hair. Final Artwork!  Probably done in less than 5 hours. Now showing.

  Chalk outline in pink! A light blue roughly painted BG. A brunaille for the hand and head. Some flesh ground. Happy as I was painting the face. Even happier now that I've added a 1st coat of magenta for the shirt. Trying to do folds and creases using magenta, yellow, white, red and green as I don't have fuchsia. Minor adjustments to the face and finalized shirt. Grounded the pants. Added buttons, rings and tattoos. Unless someone violently objects,  this painting is finished!  Or is it?
